Went up Friday night, put in at state park around 8:45 as dusk turned to night. Headed toward Witcher, fishing from there back across every point in Craddock -- tossing the standard plugs. Ales were flipping everywhere. At one point in the night, I was cruising wide open on my toon (17mph), and suddenly yanked back throttle as water looked weird in the bow light reflection. We were in ~35' of water adjacent to a point, and the alewives were literally skipping on the top by the thousands -- almost looked like a miniaturized version of the videos you see of the jumping river carp. We eased up toward point, and boom, boom, boom picked up three ~10lb schoolies, including my 7yr old son's first striper. The only carches of the night. Saw numerous blow ups in front of lights, where more ales were flipping. Next weekend is going to be prime, IMHO. |
